Netbook reviews by netbook owners
Dec 27th
If you haven’t got round to purchasing a netbook yet, or are looking for a newer one but don’t know which to choose, Your Netbook Reviews may be able to help you decide. As the name suggests, the site allows you to read reviews on netbooks written by netbook owners. Perfect if you’re looking for more than a proffessional journalists or bloggers review on a certain netbook.
Users who submit reviews can not only write about the netbook, but can also give the netbook a rating based on various aspects. A rating can be given for value, features, usability and design. As the site is relatively new, there aren’t that many reviews on it just yet, but you can expect it to grow.
